What exactly is parvovirus?

Parvo is a disease caused by the parvovirus and often affects younger dogs. Dogs usually become infected with parvovirus after coming into contact with animals or objects that carry parvovirus. Symptoms of illness include listlessness, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated body temperature, and blood in the stool in the later stages.
Treatment is based on symptoms and causes. Antidiarrheal and antiemetic drugs are mainly used for vomiting and diarrhea, and viral interferons and monoclonal antibodies are used for viruses.
Sick dogs and recovered dogs are tiny sources of infection. Sick dogs are spread to the outside world through feces, urine, saliva and vomitus. Rehabilitation dogs can also detoxify from their feces and urine for a long time, contaminating feed, drinking water, tableware and the surrounding environment. We believe that the general route of infection of the disease is the digestive tract, and susceptible animals are mainly infected through direct or indirect contact.
